Wordle was originally created by engineer Josh Wardle as a gift for his partner, but soon went mega-viral. Thousands of people around the globe now play this game each day, and fans have even created alternate Wordle versions inspired by the original. This includes battle royale format Squabble, music identification game Heardle, and variations like Dordle and Quordle that make you guess multiple words at once.
In fact, the word puzzle game has proved so popular that the New York Times eventually bought it, and TikTok creators livestream themselves playing.

Why are there two different Wordle answers some days?
Usually, Wordle solutions are like Highlander: There can be only one, and that’s half the fun of it. However, occasionally the game will accept two different correct solutions on the same day, in apparent defiance of Wordle law. This aberration is due to changes the New York Times made to the original word list and order after it acquired Wordle earlier this year.
